ic Wales - Oxfam pulls out staff over security fears

ic Wales - Oxfam pulls out staff over security fears: "OXFAM has removed its international workers from Iraq due to insecurity problems, the charity said yesterday.
Brendan Cox, spokesman for the organisation, said a number of staff, including some Britons, left for Jordan on Monday, but that about 50 Iraqi workers were remaining."

More tough news. One of the few productive things I've been able to do is donate money to some of the organizations working to directly alleviate the worst by-products of the invasion.

The other report I noticed said they were entirely pulling out, so maybe this in, in fact, good news.
